that socket was going to be my last resort but i will definetaly try today withougt removing the arms

 

Dam naz sorry to hear your having this much trouble, hope you can get everything worked out good luck!

 

You only need to remove the front A arm bolt that attaches to the suspension arm. The one with the cotter pin in it, not the whole A arm. Make sure you are using metric sockets/wrenches and not standard.

 

yea just remove the upper balljoiont. and the bolts holding the strut to the lower arm and the top 3 on the strut and thats it.

 

i have all the necessary tools and i'm in SF. i can help you out tomorrow

 

Thanks for the offer Wei but i just finished lol

Thanks for all the help guys i just finished, i used the outer a arm bolt method and worked like a charm. once i figured out what i was doing the other side took less then 30 min
cant wait till the japantown show, that is if the guy ever replies me
edit: pics in the morning, to dark outside right now

 

So how you liking the drop?

 

its great i can berly fit a finger in the back and 2 fingers in the front, but thats because im running a small tire in the front but its an awsome drop, going to let the springs settle down and do the spring mount mod to drop it some more

 

 

looking good man glad your liking it ok time for a itrader review

 

bring your car to a shop and they can just use an impact wrench to take it off EASILY. same thing happened to me when i installed my springs. they charged me $5. good luck
